<\/div>

It\u2019s pretty common for sisters to share a closet or clothes \u2014 but what about the day they give birth? Utah sisters Marissa Deering and Mallory Averett <\/span>happened<\/span><\/a> to discover their pregnancies at the same time and then gave birth within hours of each other. They feel that sharing one more thing together as sisters has brought them closer together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe both had the same symptoms, the same cravings, [and] we both ended up with gestational diabetes. Like, yeah, they were identical pregnancies,\u201d explained Averett.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deering remembered that she would send snapchats to her sister about her cravings and Averett would respond, \u201cShut up, that\u2019s what I\u2019m craving!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Their estimated due dates were a few days apart, but the babies were <\/span>ready<\/span><\/a> to make their appearance together. <\/span>Baby Angelo Deering was born at 12:08 am on February 8, and baby Maisyn Averett was born just before midnight, nearly 12 hours later that same day \u2014 and both babies were the same birth weight<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

READ: Parents \u2018excited\u2019 to learn they naturally conceived quadruplets as two sets of twins<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The hospitals were a few hours apart, with the Deerings in West Jordon, Utah, and the Averetts in Price, Utah. Grandmother Carol Deering quickly drove in between hospitals, hoping she\u2019d make it to both births. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was getting a little nervous that I wasn’t going make it to either one of them\u2026 [W]e are truly blessed to have both of them here and both healthy, and both 6lbs 7oz.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

During pregnancy, the sisters <\/span>joked<\/span><\/a> that one of them might give birth to twins since their mother is a twin, but neither was very excited at the idea of giving birth to twins. Instead, they hoped that their babies would be born close together in place of twins.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo we both were like, \u2018Oh my gosh, what if we’re gonna have twins? And [Deering’s] like, \u2018Well, we’ll just have them on the same day and that will count as twins,\u2019\u201d laughed Averett.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Growing up, the sisters were, in their words, \u201cvery, very, opposite,\u201d and fought \u201call the time.\u201d But Deering feels that the perfectly timed pregnancies have brought her closer to her sister and \u201cjust made me realize how amazing a person she is.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The families have much to look forward to as they treasure double the cuteness and double the love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children. Please take 30-seconds to TELL CONGRESS: STOP THE DOJ FROM TARGETING PRO-LIFE AMERICANS.<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
